David Hyde Pierce On Whether Frasier Reboot Could Work Without Niles
David Hyde Pierce comments if he thinks that the Frasier reboot can survive without him. Kelsey Grammer is spearheading the upcoming project on Paramount+. No release date has been set thus far, but the Frasier revival has already been in development for a while now with the latest update claiming that it will premiere this year.
Specific plot details are still scant at the moment for the Frasier reboot, but Grammer previously revealed that the idea is that while the premise would be different, he is set on bringing everyone back from the original show. But without any clear update on the Frasier revival, there's also no confirmed cast list. Granted that some original actors have expressed their eagerness to revisit their respective roles, it's difficult to get invested in the idea that they will appear in the Paramount+ endeavor without any official announcement. In the event that Pierce decides not to partake in the Frasier revival, that means that the show will have to move forward without the fan-favorite Niles.
